Awaken Wonder is a four-week devotional journey through the Advent season, in preparation for Christmas, with pastor and teacher Darrell Johnson. Each week begins with a Gospel passage and unfolds through daily reflections and historic prayers, inviting readers to step into the wonder of the Christmas story.
Rooted in Scripture and drawn from decades of preaching, these reflections help us see again the surprising beauty of Jesus' arrival and the way it continues to reshape our lives today.
Whether you're returning to the story or discovering it anew, this book is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and awaken wonder this Advent.

"Christmas (as well as Advent) is a season pregnant with so many gifts that often go unreceived by us, simply because we have not been made aware of their existence. In Awaken Wonder, Darrell Johnson helps close this gap, steadily and warmly helping us see aspects of the story from new perspectives that become wells of revelation from which the reader can draw as deeply as they are willing to go. Darrell's writing is clearly informed by his decades of dedicated study of the Scriptures, his lived experience as a pastor and-most undeniably-his dynamic and living love of the Messiah, Emmanuel, of whom he writes." - Brooke Ligertwood, Songwriter and Worship Leader
